Hi Sarah,

The tutor list and the main python-list strips attachments, so we cannot see 
your images.  Please cut/paste the text as text instead of using screenshots.

I think you're misreading the Windows command prompt which recites the current 
folder. This:

  C:\python>

is still the Window command prompt. It is also probably not where you should do 
your python work unless you personally made this folder specially. Where did 
you save your "hello.py" file? That is probably where you should cd.

Please cut/paste the text of your hello.py file and a complete transcript of 
the syntax error (all the lines).
